Teaching and learning materials

This database aims to facilitate teachers access to educational materials relevant to pluralistic approaches to languages and cultures. This way they will be able to help learners appropriate their knowledge, attitudes, and skills as described in the lists of descriptors. The materials, available to download, can be selected according to various criteria: objectives (as expressed by the FREPA descriptors), levels of training, thematic areas, the type of pluralistic approach, and the language of instruction.

The didactic unit entitled "Welcome to the blue planet Mr.Pox!" shows, in the form of a project, six activities where the pupils will make a multicultural research to explain issues concerning the earth and its inhabitants.

The general aim is to introduce secondary school pupils into the world of linguistic diversity and the culture of peace, based on a social (attitudinal), linguistic and cultural approach.

The first two working areas aim to explain that acting for peace implies much more than not wanting war. The third focuses on different ways of expressing the idea of peace, and the fourth on different ways of expressing and representing peace in other languages and cultures.
